Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

In the original work, in the chapter before the Battle of Marineford, Bai Ye was quite unhappy with some of the contents of Water Seven.

Especially Usopp's fight against Franky's family and his subsequent breakup with Luffy.

Although these things contributed to Usopp's growth, that part of the plot was quite infuriating to watch.

Some things are just like this. If you look at them from different perspectives, you will have different understandings.

For example, when Franky's family robbed the Straw Hat Pirates, from the protagonist's perspective, Franky's family was simply a nest of bastards.

But to civilians, they can be called civilian heroes for fighting against pirates.

It's very weird, so Bai Ye is very unhappy.

Starting from the transformation of the Merry, Bai Ye has been making various preparations for this chapter.

In addition to Merry, there is also Usopp. Whether it is the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the subsequent training, or the dual guns given, they are all for the purpose of enabling Usopp to grow as quickly as possible.

At present, whether it is the Alabasta chapter, the Magic Valley Town chapter, or the later Sky Island chapter.

Even his performance when facing Admiral Aokiji is enough to prove that Usopp has changed a long time ago.

Of course, there is still some gap between him and the "God Usopp" in the original work.

But Bai Ye can still confidently express that he will completely change the ending of the Straw Hat Pirates in Water Seven.

Including Robin.

Along the way, Byakuya took great pains to train Luffy and the other two in the operations of the Qimen Bureau, just to make Robin understand something.

Even when facing a being like the Navy Admiral, the Straw Hat Pirates will not give up on her.

Although they have not yet arrived at the Water Seven City, Bai Ye is very sure that even if Robin is found by CP9 again, she will not disappear just like that.

From the above, it can be seen that Bai Ye’s control over the Seven Water City chapter is quite perfect.

Of course, he also missed some things.

For example, the changes you made in the past will have an impact on the future.

Just like now, the Merry has not yet arrived at the Water Seven City, but Luffy has already decided to let Lafranchi board the ship.

Of course, as it stands now, this isn't a bad thing.

But in the long run, Bai Ye at this moment has also lost the biggest reliance he had gained from traveling through time.

That is the advantage of knowing the plot well.

"Oh, it's really a happy trouble~"

Bai Ye lay on the edge of the boat and said with some sigh.

It is precisely because of my familiarity with the plot that I have been able to achieve what I have today.

But because of the changes he made, he lost the advantage in the plot.

There is indeed a causal relationship.

"Now that it has come to this, let's just have fun."

Bai Ye smiled, as if he had figured something out.

But the next second, Bai Ye's smile disappeared, as if something had happened.

He quickly moved his right hand in front of him, and a space door surrounded by seven-colored mist appeared in front of him.

Then, Bai Ye stepped into the space gate and came to an island.

There is only one person on this island, and that is Zoro who is in the state of [Possessed by Demon].

But at this moment, Zoro looked like a bloody man.

His whole body was covered with wounds, as if he had been stabbed hundreds of times, with each blow avoiding vital parts.

Bai Ye immediately gave a bitter smile:

"You, are you being besieged by hundreds of people in this illusion?"

-

Of course, Zoro was not besieged by hundreds of people.

From the beginning to the end, Zoro's opponent in the illusion was only one person.

“5000th victory!”

In the open space in the woods, Kuina placed the Wado Ichimonji on Zoro's neck and said with a smile.

"I know. Sooner or later, I will defeat you."

Zoro showed an arrogant expression as if saying "Although I can't beat you, I still refuse to accept it."

A long time has passed since Zoro and Kuina met.

After Zoro lost to Kuina in his first challenge and joined the gym.

The two fought several times almost every day.

After their 2000th victory, the two had already replaced their wooden swords with real swords.

Although Kuina was very careful during the competition, she still hurt Zoro from time to time.

So at this time, Zoro was almost wrapped in bandages.

Today is Kuina's 12th birthday.

It was also the day when the two agreed to fight their 5000th battle.

Although he lost the game, Zoro was still very happy.

In fact, Zoro himself also felt strange. He wanted to win so much, but after losing to Kuina so many times, he still didn't feel the slightest bit of regret or anger.

At this moment, he even wanted to celebrate Kuina's birthday.

"Come on, Kuina, let's go back. Today is your birthday."

Zoro stood up and walked towards the gym while greeting Kuina.

However, Kuina did not go back with Zoro as usual, but turned her back and stood there.

"Kuina?" Zoro was a little confused, wondering what was wrong with the girl in front of him.

"That's not the case..."

A tiny voice sounded, causing Zoro to take two steps forward.

"It's not that we go back..."

For some reason, Zoro suddenly felt a little panicked. He quickly stepped forward and wanted to catch Kuina.

But a flash of knife appeared!

Kuina turned around and drew her sword, slashing fiercely at Zoro!!!

"It should be you who goes back!!! Zoro!!!"

"Wake up!!! You idiot!!!"

Kuina yelled while lowering her head.

Her hand holding the scabbard was shaking.

Her voice was a little hoarse, as if filled with reluctance.

Tears were already flowing from my eyes, dripping down to my feet.

"Kuina... what are you talking about?"

"This is not Shimotsuki Village at all. For so many years, there has only been Isshin Gym on the entire island."

Kuina choked up and said word by word:

"I am not the real Kuina at all. My body has not developed at all since I was ten years old."

"Don't you understand, Zoro?"

"here it is..."

Just when Kuina was about to yell out the truth, a slash suddenly came from behind her.

The slash arrived in an instant, knocking Kuina away fiercely, and blood gushed out from her back, instantly soaking her entire back.

"Kuina!!!" Zoro's eyes widened instantly, unable to believe what he saw.

He rushed forward and hugged Kuina, trying desperately to cover the wound on her back.

Looking at Kuina's face which almost lost all color in an instant, Zoro felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, as if he had experienced the same thing before.

"What a hassle. Did you wake her up?"

At this time, a voice sounded.

At the same time, a figure slowly walked out of the dense forest behind Kuina.

If Bai Ye were here, he would definitely exclaim:

"Are you sure this guy isn't the dark version of Zoro?"

That’s right, the figure in front of him was almost exactly the same as the grown-up Zoro, except that his clothes were no longer green, but pitch black like darkness.

(According to convention, let's call it Blackthorn.)

Hei Suo looked at Zoro, who was kneeling on the ground with tears on his face, weak and helpless, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips:

"Don't worry, she won't die."

"After all, this isn't the real world!"

"Hahahahaha!!!"
